The Solmetric SunEye
TM (patent pending) is a hand held electronic device that allows users to assess total potential solar energy given the shading of a particular site. Identifying the shading pattern early in the process reduces the expense of system and home design and improves the efficiency of the final system or house.

Solar Panel System Design and Installation:
The Solmetric SunEye
TM is the most important tool for the professional solar installer, saving time and money and helping to design the highest performance systems. It's equally useful for PV, passive hot water, roof mount or ground mount systems. Optimize new systems for maximum production. Analyze existing installations to solve problems of under production. Identify specific shade-causing obstructions such as trees or structures and know instantly how much additional energy would be produced if the obstruction were removed.
Passive Solar House Design and Green Architecture:
When you need accurate site-specific solar access data for a new building or a renovation, the Solmetric SunEye
TM is the right tool for the job.
On-Site Data Collection and Analysis:
- Fish-eye lens and digital camera
- Sophisticated measurement software
- Simulates removal or addition of shading objects or structures
- Accommodates all panel orientations (tilt and azimuth)
- Accounts for panel tilt and orientation
- Multi-skyline averaging
That means:
- Easy measurements and instant feedback
- Fast estimates lead to quick sales and designs
- Data is automatically stored for later review
"The SunEye helps us streamline the whole design and rebate application process, and is a joy to use. I wouldn’t live without it!”."

Solar Access Reports and Data Files:
The SunEye interfaces to the USB port of your PC, and data is transferred from the device to the SunEye Desktop software. A Solar Access and Shading Report summarizes the data from each session.

The SunEye also outputs various data files for use in simulation and design programs. When data is taken using the GPS option, all Skylines are geo-tagged, and the locations and data can be output to Google Earth
TM.
